well yesterday i ordered baby coreys bedroom set lol and ive even hung his curtains! i was never this crazy with zane lol

I got my burst of energy yesterday. Thank goodness because this house definately needed the attention! I even called my mom to come pull out the fridge and stove so I could clean under them. Also got the nursery arranged to my liking, now I just need to order a crib and we will be good to go.

On a side note, I don't have anything left from when my girls were babies. Of course it was 8 and 5 years ago, and this little one is a boy. The more I am out in stores and shopping the more I realize how much I have changed since the last time I was pregnant.

I honestly do not want anyone to go out and buy us anything. All we really need are clothes and some bedding after I order our crib. Of course I will accept gifts and be appreciative but I really don't want to clutter up the nursery with lots of unwanted stuff! When I think of all the things that never got worn/used with my girls I can't help but feel like its a waste but I don't want to say that to everyone who is so excited to buy for us. I just want to simplify!!

Another BLUE bump huh!? Wow, yet statistics show more girls than boys are born every year.... Think maybe we might be setting a new trend, ladies!! lol x

I have started getting braxton hicks, uhh so annoying! anyone getting these yet? With Kylar they started at 16 weeks but I didnt know that's what it was until a long time later!! They make it hard for me to breathe, I very much dislike them!

 

[Tasha]

Looks like my girlie is gonna have her pick of the boys

 

[fluttery]

Moomin - Congrats on your blue bump! Love the name you have chosen too!

TTCNumber2 - congrats on your blue bump! Can't help with babies weight as I don't have my scan until 25th, even then I'm not sure they will say. 13oz sounds like a good healthy weight though

Sarahbella - someone wil have to start bringing up the girl number, it will probably be you

Fluttery - welcome :wave: keep us posted about your pink or blue bump! Any feelings what it might be?

Feeliing.absolutely shattered this week! They say you are supposed to get a burst of energy once you get out of first tri but that seems to have missed me completely!!
Have a good day
Xx

Thank you I'm thinking boy.. We'll see soon I hope.

I have started getting braxton hicks already this time too!! Didn't get them until 30+ weeks last time so it paniced me a bit when it first happened already. But have read its fine so just ignore them now! Lol! Xx

I started getting them a few weeks ago and now they're getting a lot longer and painful. In total I probably get 5 a day. I thought it would be odd having them this early. Glad I'm not the only one.

kylarsmum.

About the BH, I know they are annoying but tell yourself that they are your uterus getting practise in, so it knows what to do so you will have a fantastic short and easy labour having said that I had some yesterday, regular and painful, and it really scared me.

i got a sharp pain yesterday and now u mention it, it did feel like braxton hicks which i didnt get with zane till much later on

 

[abs07]

Eeek! How do you know they are BH? That totally freaks me out especially since I have no idea what they are supposed to feel like!!

Last night I was laying in bed reading and I felt my stomach tighten up all of a sudden. I looked down and I had a bump rising up between my belly button and the top of my pubic bone. It was super hard too and I'm just guessing it was the baby pushing up against my stomach? It was really cool but can somebody assure me its normal?!?

that sounds like a mix of bh and the babies butt lol

bh are when u feel a tighting cramp in ur stomach and they can quite hurt.
but the bump certainly sounds like baby to me.

i got a massive baby kick last night and i had my hand over the area and his what ever it was poked out some way lol

 

[Kylarsmom]

braxton hicks are not usually painful! Just bothersome! Your uterus will tighten up and be rock hard for a few seconds, and with me, i always get verrrry short of breath during them! SO glad to hear Im not the only one experiencing them this early though!! With Kylar,they actually started at 16 weeks but took me weeks to find out what it actually was!! It did not help my labor though =( Had a very very traumatic delivery and almost stroked. I'll be opting for a c-section this time =/

 

[hannpin]

to all the new ladies, and big congrats to all the new blue bumps and the pink bump who will be a lucky lady with all these boys to choose from!!

Glad everyone has been having good news from scans and check ups. I have 20wk scan on Wed, so hopefully I won't have a shy bump and will know which flavour we are!

 

[abs07]

Well that puts me a little at ease, even though I'm still nervous about the BH contractions!

Good luck on your scan hannpin!

 

[shelley22]

Been a while since I've posted, I had my 12 week scan at 13w1d and they put me forward a full week so my EDD is now 21st August. Have my next scan on 5th april but think we will be staying team yellow!

Also realised i need to change my ticker!

 

[sequeena]

Don't think I'm getting BH yet, not sure though LOL

 

[Kylarsmom]

Just got home from my scan! Baby looked healthy and wonderful! He's 100 percent boy!!!!!!!! Posting pics in a minute!!!!!!!

 

[sequeena]

Yay for a definite boy!! Hoping my boy is confirmed on the 21st

Watching the news now, can't believe what's happened to Japan. All those people in their cars on motorways trying to get away then realising they have no chance
